Well... I prefer fauna to flora. I am really excited about scientists finding the Higgs Boson. I have read the Wikipedia page on submarines on more than one occasion. Also the Wikipedia page on feudal baronies. And the page on tornados. I can nearly quote Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade from memory -- I suspect after the 35th viewing I'll finally have it! ("The quest for the grail is not archaeology, it's a race against evil..."). I think the most wonderful vacation that I've ever been on was a safari in Kenya. But I also loved New Zealand. And the Galapagos Islands. If I had a free ticket anywhere in the world and some Airbnb credits, I would very much like to explore Scandinavia and see the Northern Lights. I feel most at home in coniferous forests, but I would never turn down a white sand beach.

I was here on business to help with the move of our office into a space in Palo Alto and Adriane's apartment was perfect! I loved the peace and quiet of the neighborhood and the charming apartment had everything I needed for a very comfortable and restful stay. Really wonderful and charming place!

It was great memory to stay at Adriane's apartment for 2 nights, everything was clear. Adriane is a very organized host who always repponse very fast if something you are not sure. If you love books and quiet neihbborhood, you will really enjoy stay at her house:)

We stayed in the studio while visiting the campus. The room is very cosy and has everything you need for your stay. Decor is cool and feels homely rather than the average hotel room. Location was great and parking was easy. Only negative is the shower - don't expect a power shower (this is clearly disclosed in the apartment details). Highly recommended if visiting Stanford!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Adriane's charming apartment. Adriane was a gracious host and an excellent communicator. We were welcomed with chocolates on our towels and a lovely note. The location next to campus was very convenient for our class reunion activities, and Adriane provided parking passes for easy on-street parking. The bed and linens were quite comfortable. I appreciated her extremely thorough guide to the apartment and local transportation options. And Adriane was very accommodating with our requests for a later check out on our last day - much appreciated! Our only issue was one instance of no hot water in the shower, but showering at non-peak times seemed to resolve the problem.

The studio is a really charming, comfortable, and cozy space. Adriane has done a great job of utilizing the space, and she's thought of just about everything to make your stay stress free. Neighborhood is quiet and close to Stanford, shopping, and hiking trails. If you're a coffee drinker, bring your own Melitta filter or French press. Getting enough water pressure in the shower was a little tricky, but I'd definitely stay here again.

Loved this studio. Perfect location for us- able to walk to fun places in Palo Alto and also had access just a block away from Stanford's campus. Very quiet lovely neighborhood and the studio is just as listed. Looked as cute in person as on the photos. Would definitely stay here again. Adriane was very accessible if we had needed anything (but we had no issues.)

I had a very good experience staying at Adriane's place! She was always prompt in replying to questions, and took care to ensure that my stay was comfortable. The apartment was in an excellent condition and well-furnished. I would not hesitate to stay at Adriane's place again!

We certainly enjoyed having Adriane stay with us and regretted that she only was able to stay for such a brief time. What an interesting and accomplished young lady. A pleasure to have around. Hopefully, we'll have a chance to AirBnB with her in Palo Alto.

Adriane was a lovely guest. She's soft spoken and considerate.
Her wedding itinerary kept her on the go but she still found time to help me just a little in getting another guest's room ready. Thank you, Adriane ... come again some time!
